Free daily moving puzzles
Moving puzzles are about order more than knowledge. Every piece on the board can move, but only in its own way and only when the way is clear, so the question is always what has to go first. Each one is new every day, the same for everyone, and each board is checked by a solver before it is used, so it can always be finished.

Arrows packs a board with bent arrows; tap one and it slides off the way it points, its body following its own bends, as long as nothing waits in the squares ahead of its head. Parking Lot works the same way with cars and vans parked every which way in a crowded lot: each drives straight ahead and out, or bumps the car in front and rolls back. Both are timed, and a tap on a blocked piece counts as a mistake.
Car Escape is the classic sliding car park on a 6 × 6 grid. Cars and trucks slide only along their own length, and you move them aside to open a road for the red car to the exit. The fewest possible moves is worked out in advance, so you can see how close you came to a perfect solve.
Sliding Blocks is the wooden tray version: small, wide and tall blocks around one big block that must reach the gap in the bottom edge, with its fewest moves shown too. Water Sort mixes coloured water in glass tubes; pour the top colour from tube to tube until each holds one colour, with a symbol on every colour for colour-blind players. Pipe Connect turns the tables: nothing slides, but every pipe tile turns, and the water from the tank must reach every pipe with no open ends.
The puzzles grow with the difficulty: bigger boards, more pieces and longer chains of pieces waiting for each other on hard days. They all play well on a phone, with big targets, dragging and tapping, and on a computer with the mouse or the keyboard.
